IV Therapy Basics
Start here if you’re new to IV therapy.
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy delivers fluids and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. This can be helpful when you want rapid hydration support or targeted nutrient delivery as part of a wellness plan.
How is IV therapy different from oral supplements?
Oral supplements must pass through digestion and may be limited by absorption. IV therapy bypasses the digestive tract by delivering through the bloodstream. Many clients choose IVs when they want faster hydration support or they don’t tolerate oral supplements well.
What can IV therapy help with?
People commonly use IV therapy to support hydration, energy, recovery, wellness routines, and occasional situations like travel fatigue or dehydration. Your ideal option depends on your goals and medical history.
How fast will I feel results?
Many clients report feeling refreshed the same day, especially when hydration is a key need. Others notice benefits more gradually (often over 24–48 hours) depending on the drip and individual factors.
How long do benefits last?
It varies. Hydration benefits can be noticeable quickly, while nutrient-focused drips may feel more subtle and depend on lifestyle, sleep, training load, and baseline nutrient status.
How often can I do IV therapy?
Frequency depends on the type of drip, your goals, and your medical profile. Some people come occasionally (travel, events, recovery), while others use memberships for consistent monthly support.
Safety & Who It’s For
Important considerations before your first visit.
Is IV therapy safe?
IV therapy is commonly used in medical settings for hydration and nutrient delivery. At PrimeIV Montgomery, your visit includes a medical intake and is administered by licensed medical professionals. As with any IV, there are potential risks (like bruising or irritation), so we screen and monitor you.
Who should NOT get IV therapy?
Certain conditions or medications can make IV therapy inappropriate. Examples can include some kidney conditions, heart conditions where fluid balance is critical, pregnancy considerations, or allergies to ingredients. We’ll review your history and help determine what’s appropriate.
If you’re unsure, call or text us at (334) 429-6448 — we’ll guide you.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel a quick pinch during the IV start, then it’s comfortable. Some ingredients may cause a mild warm sensation. We can slow the drip rate if needed.
Are there side effects?
Possible side effects can include minor bruising, soreness at the IV site, or (rarely) lightheadedness. Certain ingredients may cause temporary flushing or nausea in some people, which is often helped by slowing the infusion and hydrating well beforehand.
Can I drive after an IV?
Most clients can drive and resume normal activities afterward. If you feel lightheaded, we’ll have you sit and recover before leaving.
Can athletes use IV therapy?
Many athletes use hydration and recovery support as part of training routines. If you compete in regulated sports, you’re responsible for ensuring any ingredients comply with your organization’s rules.

Specific IV Solutions & Add-Ons
Common questions about popular ingredients like NAD+, Niagen®, Glutathione, and more.
What is NAD+ and why do people get NAD+ IVs?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy processes. People often seek NAD+ IVs for wellness routines focused on energy support, mental clarity, and recovery.
NAD+ can feel intense for some clients. We often start slower and adjust to your comfort.
What is Niagen® (NR), and how is it different from NAD+?
Niagen® is a branded form of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor that the body can use to help support NAD+ levels. Some people choose NR-based options for ongoing wellness support, while NAD+ IVs deliver NAD+ directly.
Best choice depends on your goals, tolerance, and desired intensity — ask our team for guidance.
What is Glutathione and what are the benefits?
Glutathione is an antioxidant found naturally in the body. Clients often add glutathione for wellness routines focused on oxidative stress support, recovery, and “glow”-type goals.
Do Vitamin C and Zinc really help?
Vitamin C and zinc are commonly used nutrients for immune support. Many clients choose these during travel seasons, heavy stress periods, or when they want extra wellness support.
What is B-12 and who benefits most?
B-12 supports energy-related metabolic processes and is a popular injection add-on for clients who want an extra “lift.” If you have specific concerns about deficiency, talk with your healthcare provider.
What is Lipolean and what is it used for?
Lipolean is a commonly used injection blend that may include nutrients associated with metabolism support. Many clients include it as part of a weight-management or wellness routine.
Can IV therapy help with hangovers?
Many hangover symptoms are related to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Hydration-focused IVs may help support recovery, and some clients add nausea support or vitamins depending on symptoms.
What’s best for workouts and recovery?
Post-workout support often focuses on hydration, electrolytes, and select vitamins. If soreness and fatigue are the main issues, we can recommend options that align with recovery and energy goals.
Note: IV therapy is not a substitute for medical care. Individual experiences vary, and we tailor recommendations based on your intake and goals. If you have a medical condition or take prescription medications, please contact us before your visit.
Your Visit
What to expect from check-in to check-out.
How long does an appointment take?
Most visits take 30–60 minutes depending on your drip and flow rate. Some add-ons (like NAD+) can take longer because we may run them slower for comfort.
What should I do before my IV?
Eat a light meal, drink water, and avoid arriving on an empty stomach. If you’re coming for recovery, rest when you can and bring any relevant info about how you’re feeling.
Can I work on my laptop during my drip?
Usually yes — many clients relax, work, scroll, or listen to podcasts. Just keep the IV arm comfortable and still.
What should I do after my IV?
Continue to hydrate, eat balanced meals, and rest if you need it. If you’ve done a more intensive add-on (like NAD+), take it easy the rest of the day if you feel tired.
